Coyotes in Georgia Backyards | Savannah News

Coyotes are popping up everywhere in Georgia—parks, backyards, you name it. Wildlife experts say they’re naturally shy, but sightings are way more common now, so stay alert: these wild dogs can look like house pets, so teach kids to stay away and never feed them. If you spot one, don’t run—make yourself look big, make noise, wave arms to scare it off. Cut off their food source: seal trash, bring pet food inside, clean up spilled birdseed. Pet owners? Keep dogs leashed or indoors, especially at dawn and dusk when coyotes are most active. If things escalate, some cities are calling in professional trappers—because these animals are unpredictable and sometimes removal is the only option.
